ALBANY Nearly a quarter of the New Yorkers eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in this phase of the campaign have received the first dose of the two-shot vaccination.
The total Monday morning stood at 2.23 million first doses and 1.32 million second doses. Roughly 10 million New Yorkers are eligible because of age, ailment or occupation.
The percentage of vaccinated residents varies greatly from one county to the next, though. This can be due to unique local factors; that and erratic supply of vaccine from the state and federal governments; an overwhelmed appointment-scheduling system; and a network of vaccination sites that is huge but inadequately supplied and not evenly located.
